Lab 7 - Invasion of Russia part 2

Here is my second lab showing the German invasion of Russia. This part only involved making the shape tween. From August back to July it looks great, but from July back to June it doesn't go so well. I had trouble bringing it back to the begining. The line kept add points, getting all twisted around, then eventually the fill just disappeared. I'm toatlly frustrated with this portion of the lab and have given up. There has to be an easier way to do this!!

Okay, so i tried something different. And it seems to look better than before, but for some reason from june to july it fills weirdly, then is fine from then on. Ahh!

Lab 6 - Invasion of Russia part 1

Here is my lab showing the German invasion of Russia. It wasn't too bad making, except making each guide line was very time consuming. Also, I attempted to use the pen to make my guidelines, but when I would test my movie, it would go forward, then back to the starting point instead of just stoping at the end point. Another issue I'm having is the text within my buttons. In Flash, the text looks fine, but when I publish it, the spacing isn't right. Any advice?

Here is an interesting map. It shows a map oif the world, and will slowly morph from topic to topic. For example, from population density to child obesity for each country in the world. It's not interactive at all, but it's kind of interesting to watch the shapes of the countries change shapes. Although, it is kinda of slow, so you have to watch for a bit before you see the next change.

Map Posting

Okay, so this map isn't a moving map, but i came across it and thought it was pretty cool because it was such an unusal way to map something over time.

Here is an interective map that i found. You can add different attributes to tthe map and also expand the timeline to see more information. I thought it was interesting to see the different features on and off the map, but it wasn't very entertaining. All it lets you do is click an option on and off, no manipulation.

Lab 5 - Presidential Elections through the years

Here is my map showing the states republicans won each election year from 1972 to 2004. This lab wasn't too bad, just kind of tedious because you had to repeat the same steps over and over.
